“Their main purpose was to spread the disease and recover the sphere. As it is a rare artifact, they did not want to lose it after using it once. However, they did not expect to find Range village in such a state.”

“When they arrived, no one was sick. As it was the village where the disease first started to spread from, it is only natural to assume that the people there would be sick and weak.”
In fact, it had been the case at first. It was just their timing that was off.
But had the villagers still been sick when they came with the orcs, then they would not have been able to fight back… Everything would have gone according to their plan, and we would have all been killed.
“Thanks to Mr. Takumi, the disease had stopped spreading… But the merchants still wanted to retrieve the sphere, and so they released the orcs.”
“Judging by what Isabelle told you, it must be very expensive. And I’m sure there are many ways one could use it for ill.”

They would have wanted to retrieve it at any cost.
